I must plead ignorance about a great deal regarding ChicagoÂ's Olympic bid and how it compares to that of Los Angeles. Perhaps those of you who know can share some answers here. First I would like to say that both Chicago and Los Angeles are great cities. Either one could well represent the United States if chosen by the USOC as the bid city. I have no desire to compare the merits of each of these great cities. However, I am curious as to which of these two cities is better positioned to get an Olympics based on its power structure (both governmental and private sector) to first organize an Olympic plan and then to be able to pitch it effectively. Based strictly on the powers that be (city hall, support from state, support from the business community, ability to coordinate all groups, the quality and professionalism of those involved with the process, regional cooperation, financing, logistical concerns, etc.), which city has the human resource advantage (whether or not it is a successful bid or not).> |
